Barack Obama recently opened up about life after the White House on a stage in London. Barack Obama revealed he has spent years “digging himself out of a hole” with Michelle, admitting family sacrifices during his presidency.
The former president recently said that he has been working on his marriage to Michelle for years, trying to balance his family life with the demands of his job. His frank comments have sparked new interest in their marriage and brought attention to his harsh criticisms of political discourse.
The former president discussed his personal life, his ongoing speaking tour, and his thoughts on today's political climate while speaking on stage in London. He discussed a wide range of topics, including the importance of truthfulness in public health discussions and the long-term consequences of school closures during the pandemic, as per a report by the Daily Mail.
What did Barack Obama mean when he said he was "digging out of a hole with Michelle”?
Barack Obama didn't hesitate to mention Michelle when asked what he had been up to since leaving office. He told an audience at The O2 Arena in London, 'I was digging myself out of the hole I found myself with Michelle. 'Now I'm at about level ground,’ as per a report by the Daily Mail.
The comment was similar to things he said earlier this year in Pennsylvania, where he joked, “I have spent over eight years now trying to dig myself out of a hole with Michelle. And that's been challenging, but I feel like I'm making progress. I'm almost breaking even at the moment.”

Besides his marriage, Obama used the London event to talk about how important facts are. Obama said, "All of that is violence against the truth. And that's why, by the way, it is important for those who believe in the truth and believe in science, to also examine truth when it is inconvenient for us," referring to Donald Trump's recent claim that pregnant women taking paracetamol can cause autism, as per a report by the Daily Mail.
He went on, "So we have the spectacle of my successor in the Oval Office making broad claims around certain drugs and autism that have continuously disproved. That undermines public health. The degree to which that can do harm to women who are pregnant."
Obama said that people who believe in the truth and science should also look at the truth when it is hard for them, as per a report by the Daily Mail.

The couple was seen together for the first time in months on Steven Spielberg's $250 million superyacht in Portofino, Italy, as per a report by the Daily Mail.
Michelle joked on her podcast, "When we're not together, folks think we're divorced." Barack joked, "She took me back!" “It was touch and go for a while.”
The former first lady said it was nice to be in the same room as her husband, telling her brother: 'When we aren't, folks think we're divorced.'
What did Michelle Obama say about how they got along?
Michelle has always denied rumors about divorce, even though she has said things are hard. She said, "There hasn't been one moment in our marriage where I thought about quitting my man.'' “And we've had some really hard times. So we had a lot of fun times, a lot of adventures, and I have become a better person because of the man I'm married to.”
Her brother Craig Robinson, who co-hosts her podcast, made fun of her by saying, "What, you guys like each other?" Michelle said, "Oh yeah, the rumor mill."
'These are the kinds of things that I just miss, right? So I don't even know this stuff's going on,' Barack said. 'And then somebody will mention it to me and I'm all like, 'what are you talking about?'' as per a report by the Daily Mail.
The Obamas have been married for almost 33 years and have two daughters, Malia, 27, and Sasha, 24.
Obama keeps talking about American politics, but not about family or the truth. He criticized the Trump administration on BlueSky for pushing media companies to silence voices, saying it was "exactly the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to stop."
Obama's words show that he is funny, honest, and worried. His ability to joke about his marriage while also dealing with important issues like truth, science, and democracy shows how hard it is to be a public figure, as per a report by the Daily Mail.
The Obamas are still dealing with personal and political problems, from the stage in London to Michelle's podcast in the U.S. They do this together, and the world is always watching.
